President’s Message

April 2024

April is here with lots going on so its time to get involved. We are going to liven up the meetings by bringing back the badge drawing and the 50/50 drawing.  IF YOU DON’T HAVE YOUR BADGE AT THE MEETING IT WILL COST A DOLLAR TO GET IN.  The winner of the badge drawing will win $20 plus the money collected from those without a badge.

70^th ANNIVERSARY Pins and shirts.  Jeff Skinner has drawn up a design for the pin and is working on the shirt design.  We will put out an order sheet in the MAG news for those that want a pin and shirt so people can order their correct size.

CALLING ALL CARS:  Mark your calendar for April 20 for the LA Ford Factory tour and April 27^th for the Signal Hill Car Show.  Signal Hill would also like cars from the 20’s to the 90’s to display to show the progression through the years. So, if you have additional cars or friends with cars, they are welcome to join us for a fun day. 

Many thanks go out to Ed Williams for his outstanding barbecue meal.  It was so good knives were not even needed for the BBQ meat. I was so full after lunch I couldn’t even eat desert, well just one cookie. Thanks to Tom Leroux for hosting the BBQ and letting us invade his shop.  Thanks go out to Doug Mullin and the Long Beach Community Garden for the use of their tables and chairs at the party.  Special thanks go out to Reggie Leroux for getting the tablecloths, deserts and extras to brighten up the event.  This is the participation that makes the club fun.

CLUB BREAKFAST: We are starting to go different locations for the monthly club breakfasts.  If you have a favorite location or a suggestion let us know and we will make it happen.
